There's a change at the top of FOX's Ben and Kate.
John Quaintance and David Feeney have been upped to co-showrunners of the freshman comedy.
The duo replaces former showrunners Garrett Donovan and Neil Goldman (Community), who exited the modestly rated series from creator/executive producer Dana Fox last month, citing "creative differences" (yeah, right). For their part, Donovan and Goldman recently inked a two-year overall deal with Ben and Kate studio 20th Century Fox Television.
FOX picked up Ben and Kate, starring Dakota Johnson and Nat Faxon, for a reduced full-season of 19 episodes. The rookie series airs on Tuesdays after Raising Hope at 8:30 pm.
THR.
FYI : John Quaintance's résumé includes W(S ?)hitney, Perfect Couples and Joey. David Feeney's résumé includes 2 Broke Girls, Love Bites and According to Jim.
On the other hand, Garrett 'Crisis alert' Donovan and Neil 'Fat Neil' Goldman have worked on Community, Scrubs and Family Guy.
So yeah, bummer.
